"And he withdrew himself in to a lonely place and prayed." (Luke 5:16)
Meditation is the best medicine to reduce pain,
stress, and depression and even to heal self centeredness (Ego)
Mediation is the way to withdraw from the world of soul eating combustible crowd
and recuperating all the energies to live a healthy life here and here after. We
are living in a world of sound and fury of life but nothing - deprived off inner
peace and serenity. Modern man is in the breakeven point of breakdown. This is
the high time to seek inner peace and live a healthy human life. We should find
our quiet time and be connect with the spirit of God who speaks always in still
waters. Give time to rest for all our thoughts and be still with God. Just like
a lake, let there be the waves but a time to stop the waves and then a calm
water.
In the ministry of Jesus often he withdrew from the crowed and abides with his
father and filled with the power to do his ministry. In the Gospel of Mark 9
times he was quiet time in wilderness –Sea, Mountain, desert etc with his world
of meditation.
Fiona Assersonhw was a chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis (Lupus) patient . She has
gone for an 8 weeks daily mindfulness meditation session as a part of medical
research done by a group of neurologists and psychiatrists. The result was
ground braking She says, "If I do mindfulness meditation my Lupus pain
substantially reduces." The research concludes that mindfulness mediation have
an impact on our brain systems that is shown brain boost in MRI scan -a physical
objective proof. Mediation can reduce stress, depression, chronic pain and even
self-centeredness or ego.
Jesus, let us follow you . As you meditated let us be with you in quiet time. Let us unburden all our stress, pain, depressions and egos at thy feet and relived from all the burdens of life and daily live under your wings as a liberated human beings. We pray for all those who have been struggling with the pain and stress of this world. Let them find peace in you. All we ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
